I just want to look normal again. I feel so disfigured! We have 6 beautiful children. I was on complete bed rest with 2 of them and limited activity with another. I ballooned up to 230 at only 5'6 and then almost 7 months ago had our youngest and dropped back down To 190. I love my kids and they were worth ever stretch mark but I really need me back!

I'm planning on having the same surgery and I have people telling me how dangerous it is, but then I have those that are very encouraging.....Either way, I'm doing it. You look amazing and I can't wait to post before and after, too. I know everyone heals differently, and I've always been a quick-recovery kinda girl....but how quickly did it take you to be well enough to get out of your house?? I will have to take off work for the surgery and won't be able to stay off too long. Just looking for a safe time frame to give my boss.

You look fantastic, I have five birth children, I'm saving for,the procedure even though I'm sixty four, tried to explain to one of my sons how I don't feel comfortable answering many responses to internet dating as I'm frightened to enter a relationship because the last long term fella told me I looked disgusting. They just don't understand. Looking at all you lovely ladies and the change gives me hope I may be able to find someone. All the best, norma, Western Australia

My initial appointment was with a doctor that I just had a nasty feeling about, so we decided to consult with a few more, so that was my day... I saw three surgeons (or so I thought) my first was with a wonderful board cert surgeon, he was very serious and ready to help me! Answered all questions!

Then I moved on to someone that I believed to be board cert.. I went in there feeling good about me and my shape but he made it a point to tell me that my problem would not be fixed by TT after picking up my stomach and shaking it. He said I needed laser lipo and proceeds to show me photos of a 62 year old woman 4 inches taller then me and over 270lbs down from 360. Not only was she vastly different from me he butchered her, made her look worse and seemed proud! He showed me 5-8 more before and afters of women he had talked women into the laser lipo and they all look awful! Literally butchered!! And then there were the ones he actually did tt for, I could have cried for these women. Then he looks at me again and says I need my butt hips and back done as well!!!! Just sitting listening to him babble I asked what would happen with the extra skin after lipo. He said "it will lye flat and i can cover it with CLOTHES!!!" The whole point in this venture was so I could like what I see naked again! Not to cover it up!! I then find out that he is an ear nose throat dr and does plastic surgery on the side!!!!!! Any way on to the third and final dr!

Dr Michael Hueneke

Great location, great staff, and all around awesome guy with vast knowledge and skill! He was so thorough, polite, and flippen funny! I walked in their heart broken by the previous dr and walked out Knowing there is hope and I'm beautiful! I'm gonna be me again!! So so excited!!
